Now it's worth noting that while SOPA was bipartisan awfulness, CISPA is mostly a Republican bill, though obviously not all Democrats are exempt. Note the vote: http://clerk.house.gov/evs/2012/roll192.xml

But as noted in the topic, Obama has said he'll veto meaning this is basically the vast majority of Republicans trying to push something awful against Obama and most Democrats.

Here's an interesting and no doubt accurate analysis from a magazine that isn't exactly a bastion of liberal thought: http://www.forbes.com/sites/erikkain/2012/04/27/cispa-passes-the-house-with-tea-party-support

People I am actually happy to see as "Aye" votes:

Bass
Cravaack
West
Biggert
Benishek
Dold
Schilling
Lungren
Buerkle

Amongst others. Nice to help write your opponent's ads for you.

The biggest disappointment (aside from the Democrats obviously) is Chaffetz, while terrible on many issues he's usually good on civil liberties. Another big surprise was the "Nay" vote from that fascist Sensenbrenner.
